LE QUERCE DEI MEDICI 12+2

Toscana - Firenze - San Piero a Sieve

Description:

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (lease only- CIR CODE: 048053LTN0005). Le Querce dei Medici, a welcoming old manor house used by the Signoria of the Medici as a hunting lodge, lies in a hilly position in the unique scenery of the green hills of the Florentine Mugello. The recent attentive renovation carried out by the owners has rendered the villa particularly comfortable for its guests, while respecting the typical characteristics of its history. Particular attention was paid to the use of typical materials of the period in order not to alter the uniqueness of the villa, such as the wooden ceilings with terracotta tiles, the terracotta floors on the ground floor, the sandstone of the typical fireplace or the beautiful round terracotta arch dividing the living room. Large elegant rooms embellished with antiques, spacious cosy bedrooms, a well-lit and fully-equipped kitchen and a beautiful garden with private swimming pool, all make this property the perfect destination for family reunions or for hosting large groups of friends looking for a relaxing stay in a tranquil setting. Very close to the most beautiful city of Tuscany, Florence, as well as to various attractions such as the Poggio dei Medici golf club, 3 km away (http://www.golfpoggiodeimedici.com), Lago di Bilancino with beach facilities, 5 km away (http: //www.bahiacafe.com), a fly fishing reserve on the Sieve river, 500 m away (https://www.tailwatersieve.it), and the famous Mugello race track owned by Ferrari, 6 km away. The exterior of the villa spreads out in a riot of colourful flowers, with areas dedicated to aromatic herbs and pergolas of wisteria with their intoxicating scent, all surrounded by multicoloured hedges in the shade of centuries-old oaks where guests can relax in the set-up areas. Furthermore, its location, a few kilometres from the motorway exit, allows you to get quickly to the principal Tuscan cities of art such as Florence, Lucca, Pisa and the characteristic villages of the Florentine Chianti. NB The property habitually inhabited by the owners will be for the exclusive use of the guests during their stay while the owners will move to the adjacent barn that is 50 meters from the house but the garden and the pool will be for the exclusive use of the guests. In case the owners are present they will be very discreet and respect your privacy.

10/10
Has the property matched your expectations?
Absolutely! Our family of 10 so enjoyed our time at Le Querce dei Medici. The 5 bedrooms with ensuite baths gave us all privacy. The pool area is gorgeous. We loved having dinner under the wisteria covered pergola every evening and waking up each morning to a chorus of birds. We were sad to leave.

Alice was an exceptional property manager. She was very responsive to any questions, arranged a winery tour for us, etc. Emma Villas was excellent to work with.
What factors made you decide to book with Emma Villas?
The quality of the properties you offer is very good. I like the many photos and especially the floor plans you include on your website. I had an issue with the first property I reserved being unavailable for our week, and I appreciated the way that Emma Villas immediately offered a number of suggestions for other properties.
